Say hello to 16:30! But one problem I have with the stock is this and this is a big problem. There is a young lady who is CEO of a dangerous company that wants to put Kemibe out of business for good. Her company is here to stay it looks like as it&#39;s success has been it&#39;s ability to pay rather low wages to its two other staffers. A few cans of fancy feast go along way for her 2 cats that occupy her at the office. The problem is how are you going to deal with a summer day in Colorado when it&#39;s 97 degrees on your early evening run and you go to sleep quite dehydrated and wake up at 4 in the morning because you couldn&#39;t sleep very well and go to your computer terminal and find that the CEO has elected to do a smear campaign hours earlier?

This woman is not only engaging in obviously inappropriate training -- assuming her training data is legitimate in the first place -- but also advancing the idea that it&#39;s sensible or worthy in emulation in any way, which it obviously isn&#39;t. Yet she has 5,000 Instagram followers because she aims her ass at a camera, the same ass from the same angle, almost every day. kemibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843360441074102811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738011144581818924.post-52587155192155204782018-02-12T05:39:20.250-07:002018-02-12T05:39:20.250-07:00I should add that there are certainly a fair share...I should add that there are certainly a fair share of men who run too quickly on runs compared to their &#39;race pace&#39;. Also, I should add that I in no way am qualified to even say I can accurately state what constitutes a &#39;normal&#39; pace for &#39;normal runs&#39; for people other than myself (I&#39;ve never been a coach or someone that even pretended to be interested in reading or knowing about running)...but making a generalization, when someone is a 2:50 marathoner as an example, and they frequently bang out 6:30s on normal &#39;runs&#39; (which is &#39;marathon pace&#39;), I just think about what it would be like if anyone else I knew (mostly guys) went out and just always ran marathon pace for normal runs...and it doesn&#39;t seem like an effective way to train. Some of them do it, but it seems a little skewed to me.DoubleJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756938292533829398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738011144581818924.post-36709081192025731612018-02-11T14:23:03.924-07:002018-02-11T14:23:03.924-07:00The image is actually a hybrid I created myself, n...The image is actually a hybrid I created myself, not to throw off the scent of my (unusually computer-savvy, in most cases) readers, but because it was the only way to include my comments and hers without a posting an image of unwieldy height -- there were about eight other comments above mine, none of them any more than the same gushing over the physique that accompanies every such post. <br /><br />Look, I can gush over runner physiques with the best of them.

It does seem strange but, I have come across many in the last 11 years or so that I&#39;ve run with (a bunch that ran in the olympic trials). Besides paying attention to what they were doing just by training logs or blogs, I used to go on runs with a couple of them and they&#39;d run whatever pace I was running. If we were all running 6:45s...we&#39;d run 6:45s for 11-12 miles and no problem. Every day, we&#39;d all basically run the same pace for runs. But then I&#39;d go to a 5k-Marathon and they&#39;d be nowhere close to me. I always thought they were either way underperforming in races or way overdoing it on normal runs... obviously the latter is the answer.

I know your one of the best coach&#39;s in the U.S. but a few things. #1 When the hot weather comes be ready with great ideas for cooling and #2 if you sense an injury coming on a couple days of rest is good in and of itself and #3 and this is a good idea. Say you do get injured. Well while your not injured at the moment which is awesome, take the time now to visualize some fun and different forms of rehab that are pleasant to get back fast! Remember if you get injured, 10 days or 2 weeks will not be a great setback at all. Come up with some ideas.

This backfired, and in the years since her first eruption, her life has gotten even worse: she&#39;s done with running for good and she&#39;s made zero progress toward a degree she was then bragging about finishing this year. <br /><br />Maybe she just figures she has nothing to lose by being banned by one more website, or by having Google searches on her name rendered marginally more laughable by one more blog post about her, since she&#39;s resigned to just riding out life, sans meaningful degree or occupation, in the tow of someone she repeatedly emphasized she didn&#39;t want to be with but would keep her from being homeless. <br /><br />Or maybe I&#39;m overthinking this by assuming there&#39;s much of a reasoning process in this at all. At times she&#39;s obviously just reacting with zero deliberation. Because she&#39;s not very bright, one day she&#39;ll do this in a way that leaves her open to legal consequences, and we&#39;ll see how much money Sean or his family are willing to contribute to a judgment for libel.kemibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843360441074102811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738011144581818924.post-11436655356824476732018-01-20T22:10:55.515-07:002018-01-20T22:10:55.515-07:00What is it that causes her to keep this crap up?

The fact that I happen to live here and my cowardly critic is presently conducting her sputtering little exhibition of retardation from here is scarcely relevant. <br /><br />It would be nice if her caregiver acceded to her wishes and relocated her fuming carcass to a distant region, but even if this happened, she&#39;d still complain and lie and blame others for her problems, because she&#39;s incapable of living life differently. Her best shot at something resembling success would be someone putting her in a room and furnishing her with an limitless supply of beer, burritos, video games, and bad TV shows, and not letting her otherwise communicate with the outside world. That way she could live out her days in some semblance of peace and happiness and not bother anyone.kemibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843360441074102811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6738011144581818924.post-72584814284313655902018-01-20T12:08:59.960-07:002018-01-20T12:08:59.960-07:00Please, post more Boulder drama.
